Johnston Sweepers wins largest order in history

Johnston Sweepers’ largest ever order of 104 truck mounted sweepers for Thailand has now been launched into sweeping operations in Thailand .

The order, the largest in Johnston ’s history, was placed late last year by TIP Auto Parts Limited for a hire contract awarded to them by the Bangkok Metropolis Authority (BMA). All 104 sweepers were supplied from Johnston ’s Surrey manufacturing plant as skid units, and shipped to Thailand to be mounted onto Hino chasses locally by Johnston ’s Thai distributor, Unitech Associates Company Limited.

The fleet of 52 VT500 and 52 VT650 sweepers was inaugurated by the BMA Governor at a special ceremony outside the authority’s headquarters in Bangkok on 1st November, and has now started sweeping operations in the busy city.
